Dive gear express

I have 3 manifolds, 3 h-valve configurations, 2 I use apart & plugged, and a couple other non-modular ones. LDS has had issues with the lack of a wrench flat & destroyed a few, but replaced them (think they finally learned). Burst disc is a challenge to change. I've had no problems in using them, and would't hesitate to get more.

They didn't know there were rubber mallets for that? Why would anyone want to use a use a wrench on a valve?

just one more question. when you double up your tanks, how do you carry them to get filled? is it ok to pick them up by the manifold?
Thanks,
Roy

I usually leave them attached to the BP/W, with the regs all set up. I just put them on my back on the tailgate of my truck and carry them in. In florida they will fill them in your vehicle.

But otherwise I pick them up with one hand on the bottom and one on a valve.

Thank you Kevin. I wont be able to fill my tanks from the car. I don't think anyone does that in NYC. so picking them up by the manifold is a bad idea?

Yes.
